The nature of Dinklage's reported role is not known, and Marvel had no comment, so at present all this is, is a warning shot.

The film, which will be released in two parts, pits the Avengers, Doctor Strange, and the Guardians of the Galaxy against Thanos, the death-obsessed alien dictator who's been making quick cameo appearances in every Marvel movie since The Avengers.

In addition to his role in Game of Thrones, Dinklage appeared in the modern holiday classic Elf and The Chronicles of Narnia, and recently played the villain in X-Men: Days of Future Past.

Doctor Strange is in theaters now, and next up for Marvel is Guardians of the GalaxyVol. 2 on May 5, 2017. Spider-Man: Homecoming lands on July 7, 2017, followed by Thor: Ragnarok on November 3, 2017. After that Black Panther debuts on February 16, 2018. Ant-Man and the Wasp is slated for July 6, 2018, followed by Captain Marvel on March 8, 2019.
